    Sega Saturn and Neo-Geo's existence got me curious. This channel put me on to MiSTer. Taki's cheaper clone made me buy one. Only three reasons I got into it. God bless.

    Yea man, your channel is the the best for MiSTer. When I found it mid-year I was noticing you put up a lot of videos and continue to do so. My exposure to consoles as a kid was only 2600/NES/SNES/64/PS1, etc.. Your channel has opened my eyes to all of the other great platforms and a lot of arcade games I simply never knew about. Thanks for all the efforts for this community! If only I learned about MiSTer 5 years ago! Oh well, never too late.

    2024 has been one of the most exciting years for MiSTer so far. Still holding out for Virtual Boy and PC-FX cores, plus some other arcade hardware from Konami, Sega and others. But what we have already is nothing short of spectacular!

    Retro gaming has come along way. About 10 years ago everyone was still buying og hardware, upscalers weren't really a thing other than the Framemeister, we didn't have all of these video cable options, mods, ODEs, flash carts, the MiSTer, controllers, information on CRTs, memory cards and other accessories for old consoles.

    My 2024 highlight was discovering your channel by way of "Mr Sujano" and never looked back ever since. I have always known about the Mister and FPGA gaming but, felt that it was an elitist hobby due to the high entry barrier cost, no diss to early adapters though. Now thanks to the clone consoles I managed to get myself one and can hardly wait to experience it myself. Mad props to you VGE, PCN and Lou's Retro Sauce for making me fall in love with FPGA gaming. Happy holidays and happy gaming everyone!

    Finished Panzer Dragoon Saga last night on my Mister Pi... Had zero issues... My main controller I use for Saturn and N64 is my Xbox Hori Fighting Commander OCTA... I found it works perfectlyfor Saturn and N64 because of the button layout and the octagonal gate on the analog for N64 games... Its worth having just for those 2 systems...

    Do you think we will ever see dual ram builds available for people that want to stick with the analog board? That's my only gripe so far with the Mister experience after getting into it, is realizing I have to downgrade my video to get dual ram, when really It would be fantastic to have both.

    The Saturn core has been great, especially paired with the recent 240p patch for Die Hard Arcade I can actually play it on an lcd now without video drop outs from resolution switching during cutscenes. For 32X my brother and I owned one growing up and we played a lot of Virtua Fighter, Virtua Racing and Star Wars. Star Wars would always freeze on the death star level for me in the core that's on update_all, the beta core from around October seems to have that issue fixed

      @@VideoGameEsoterica Dreamcast VERY soon, bet.
      There is a huge underexplored potential of hybrid emulation on MiSTer hardware. Remember you don't just get an FPGA but also two ARM cores. I think Dreamcast is viable as just Flycast on ARM with tile processor (ISP and TSP) broken out to run on the FPGA, and everything else in software. PS2 is going to be a lot more spicy and i have massive doubts it can be done, but imagine if GPU, VU1 and DMAC were on FPGA and everything else was on ARM. There are still huge advantages compared to software emulation, for example Dreamcast's GPU logic does not cleanly map onto the functionality of any GPU existing today.
      You already have pure software cores running on ARM in Mister such as ScummVM and more hybridisation just makes sense, such as adding Munt and Fluidsynth to ao486.
      Obviously with no help from Alejandro.

      @SianaGearz 4 дня назад

      ​@@VideoGameEsoterica Yes and the reason i don't suggest offloading TA is that it fires up to a shit-ton of interrupts while allocating the TA data array, because communication between ARM-Linux world and FPGA world can get very latency and overhead expensive. But also it's just such a CPU-friendly unit to emulate that it makes barely any sense. TA just buckets the strips into tiles. BTW existing emulators don't really emulate the TA, they just pretend that it ran but didn't need to allocate any memory or make any buckets, and odds are i wouldn't properly emulate its behaviour either, at least at first, just a custom bucket format and a dedicated side channel, which is guaranteed to need less than 8MB.
      With PS2 i'm not so in-depth familiar with the architecture as to suggest that a good emulation boundary can be drawn, that this method is possible in principle. I'm not big brained enough for it.
